Tasted blind. Fresh and lemony at first. But then sour and dry on the palate. Fresh but lacks fruit. (JH)

The 2020 R de Rieussec has a waxy, lightly spiced nose that just needs more vigor and personality. The palate is slightly viscous and lightly honeyed on the entry, but it lacks freshness on the finish. It is a wine that doesn't seem to have much to say. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
